NutvOOd---WiIkes.
Paw Paw, July 9TH. 1887.

Paw Paw, July 9th, 1887.
To EDITOR OF NoRTHERNER:
Under date June 22d, an article appeared
in the NoRrHERNER in the local column of
the Observer purporting TO give sum-
mary of the five year old race held at Hills
dale June 10th, where it was stated 1.-The
Wilkes family and the Nutwood family got
together the result being that the Nutwood
got distanced After examining all available
summaries of the race and finding no record
of any Nutwood colt having trotted there,
telegraphed the secretary of the circuit at
Quincy and secured the following answer
"Nutbreaker, by Nutwood, did not start i'll
the race" Just how Wilkes in Michigan
could distance Nutwood in Kentucky, OBJ
server will have to explain. The above needs
little comment and should the reader not
characterize it as wilful perversion of fact, it
certainly lacks the elements of investigation
and candor to command the credence of
intelligent men.
Any horse is liable TO be dstanced, and an
instance of this kind proves nothing. If Mr..
Galligan is anxious TO collect facts in this
regard, the Wilkes family will afford abund-
ant illustration, as scarcely week has passed
since the spring circuits opened when one or
more has not been distanced. But should
Observer extend his observations to the
Pacific slope and find where Nutwood has
defeated any of the Hambletonian-Clay per-
formers, silently pass it by, for this is the
rule and not the exception and exceptions
are what Observer wants. We are more than
ever convinced that our former estimate OF
this man was correct; that to him assertion
is proof, theory fact, an exception the rule.

Obituary.

Died, on Wednesday, June 29th, at his res
idence four miles west of Paw Paw, after a
long and painful illness, A. G. Webb, aged
forty-eight years. The deceased came to
Michigan when boy OF fourteen years with
his parents and settled on what is now known
as the Searles farm. At the age of twenty
one, while attending the Agricultural college
in lansing his health failed him, since which
he has never been strong.
In February, 1865, he married Laura
Rhodes and settled on the farm where he
died. Here in spite of the many disadvant-
ages of i'll health he built up pleasant home,
surrounded II with comforts and reared his
family of two boys and two girls.
But sickness conquered him and, two years
ago, he resigned all work into the hands of
his wife and son Frank, since which he has
been a constant sufferer. A few days before
his death, he called his family To him and
gave each parting word and committed
them to God, and, in the evening of the 29th,
calmly as the day fades into night,
"The weary spirit breathed itself to sleep,
So peacefully, il seemed sin TO weep,
To the fond watchers, who around him stood
And felt cen then, that God indeed was good
We hereby express our gratitude to the
friends who so faithfully assisted us and
sympathized with us in our recent affection,
thus making our sorrow easier to bear. May
God bless them all.

we're considerably demoralized.

Uader Guard OF HIS Honor.

The old local history Of Peansyl
vania, contains the fJilo@in5 aaec-
dote, which gives us nes incident
in Washington's life:
During the "whiskey iusurrecjion =
in Western Pennsy lvania in 1892
the leader, Bradford acquired a pow
erful influence over wealthy farmer
named Mitchell, and drew him deeply
iato the conspiracy. Mitchell was u
young, enthusiastic man, with q
beautiful home, wife and one child
TIE conspirators believed that in.
| formation OF their plans had been
sent from the little village of Wash.
ington, in Pennsylvania, to the Pres.
ident. Bradford persuaded Mitchell
that the letters containing this infor.
nation was in the mails, and must
be seized as an act of military neces
sity.
Robbery of the mails was then an
offense punishable with death, but
Mitchell, convinced that he was risk
ing his life to serve his country, join
ed by two other men, stopped the
wagon on a lonely road between
Washington and Pittsburgh, aud
carried the mail bag to Bradford S
house, 1t was opened, the DANA
ging letters taken out, and the rest
were returned to the p)st-otfi:e at
Pittsburgh.
When the insurrec,ioD was quel!,
ed, all the leaders escaped excepting
John Mitchell, who rode into camp,
and finding General Morgan, gave
himself up
Il have been a fool" he said. "I
see that plainly. am ready to bear
the punishment of my folly"
General Morgan, who knew that
he had been deceived by Bradford,
was annoyed that he had not made
his escape with him. He believed Nit
chel to be at heart an honest man,
and, with the rest of the county lik-
ed and respected him but knowing
that if he was brought to trial, the
punishme would be death, he de.
termined to give him chance to es-
cape
You cannot be tried here" he
said. Il will give you a pass to
Philadelphia. Report yourself there
81 am to have q guard ?"
mo, none"
The General turned on his heel
and walked away He intended
and expected Mitchell to fly as soon
as he had reached the wilderness, but
the the yonDg farmers honor was a
stricter guard than soldiers would
have been, and drove him unfinch-
ing to his death
He bade farewell to his wife and
child, and started alone on horseback,
to Philadelphia 1t was three
weeks journey, at any part of
he which could have escaped. He
reported as aprisoner, was tried, con-
vieted, and sentenced to be hanged
When the news reached General
Morgan, he sent special messenger
to the President, with an account of
the facts in the case. Washington it
was said, was deeply touched, and
at once sent full pardon to Mitchell,
with message to return to his wife
and child, and to keep clear of conspi-
rators for the rest Of his life.
